探讨爱尔兰青少年对奶牛场职业的看法:马里恩比彻中学学习农业科学的学生的看法;瑞安,a;对于奶农来说，一个全球性的挑战是如何吸引和留住人们从事初级农业的职业。本研究旨在探讨爱尔兰中学水平的学生学习农业科学的看法，对职业的乳品业。在通过两个焦点小组收集定性数据之前，先通过全国调查(n = 976)收集定量数据。描述性统计包括频数、百分比和平均数用于分析定量数据。调查结果的数据分析确定了一般主题，这有助于对主要假设进行演绎评估，并辅以基于焦点小组数据分析的归纳推理。调查显示，与其他职业相比，青少年认为奶牛场是一份需要体力的工作，工作与生活的平衡很差，没有任何额外的经济回报。在焦点小组中，与会者表达了对环境可持续性和经济可行性的关注。他们还发现，农业人口的老龄化也降低了农业对年轻人的吸引力。 The paper supports arguments for greater integration of actual labour market opportunities into the secondary school curriculum to raise aspirations for 21st century careers in dairy farming, among other careers. There is an opportunity within the agricultural science curriculum to encourage students to explore the wide spectrum of emerging careers in food systems including dairy farming through classroom discussion, ideally with a variety of role models employed in the agricultural sector. peer-reviewed

爱尔兰伯恩市用于陆地排水系统的河道砾石和碎石的分布、类型、普及程度、大小和可用性及其对矿质土壤的适用性;m·g·希利;芬顿,欧文;在爱尔兰，安装在矿质土壤上的陆地排水系统的性能变化很大，除其他因素外，还取决于所使用骨料的质量和适用性。在爱尔兰，陆地排水系统的集料通常是河流的砾石和碎石。这项研究对爱尔兰陆地排水系统的团聚体的分布、类型、普及程度、大小和有效性进行了分类，并对其在矿质土壤中使用的适用性进行了量化。调查了86个采石场。石灰石和河道砾石(占岩性的80%)遍布全国各地。采石场报告的采石场集料尺寸(“Q尺寸”)要么是单一尺寸，即“50mm”，要么是分级尺寸，即20 - 40mm，这些尺寸因岩性和地区的不同而不同，在大多数情况下都比目前推荐的尺寸要大。对来自62个采石场的74个样品的粒径分布分析表明，随着集料粒径的增加，单个Q粒径的变异性增加。 In some regions, the aggregate sold does not meet current national regulations, which specify an aggregate size ranging from 10 to 40 mm. The suitability of these aggregates for drainage in five soils of different textures was compared using three established design criteria. It was found that the aggregate in use is too large for heavy soil textures and is therefore unsuitable as drainage envelope material. Guidance for contractors, farmers and quarry owners will be required, and investment may be needed by quarries to produce aggregate that satisfies design criteria. An aggregate size, based on one or a combination of established aggregate design criteria, where an analysis of the soil texture is conducted and an appropriate aggregate is chosen based off its 15% passing size, is required. peer-reviewed

爱尔兰牧场奶牛场跛足率及管理实践哈德逊,c, d;克罗斯利,r . e .;Sugrue k;肯尼迪,埃米尔;赫胥黎,j . n;跛足是一种痛苦的疾病，它对奶牛的生产和福利产生负面影响。这项观察性研究的目的是确定畜群跛行率，描述目前的跛行管理做法，并确定爱尔兰牧场奶牛场存在的跛行风险因素。在放牧期间(99个农场)和住房期间(85个农场)分别访问了一次农场。每次就诊时进行跛行评分(AHDB 0-3量表); cows were classified as lame if they scored two or three. Farm management practices and infrastructure characteristics were evaluated via farmer questionnaires and direct measurements of farm infrastructure. Results Median herd-level lameness prevalence was 7.9% (interquartile range = 5.6 – 13.0) during grazing and 9.1% (interquartile range = 4.9 – 12.0) during housing; 10.9% of cows were lame at a single visit and 3.5% were lame at both visits (chronically lame or had a repeat episode of lameness). Fifty-seven percent of farmers were not familiar with lameness scoring and only one farm carried out lameness scoring. Only 22% of farmers kept records of lame cows detected, and 15% had a lameness herd health plan. Twenty-eight percent of farmers waited more than 48 h to treat a lame cow, and 21% waited for more than one cow to be identified as lame before treating. Six percent of farmers carried out routine trimming and 31% regularly footbathed (> 12 times per year). Twelve percent put severely lame cows in a closer paddock and 8% stated that they used pain relief to treat severely lame cows. Over 50% of farms had at least one cow track measurement that was classified as rough or very rough, and cow tracks were commonly narrow for the herd size. On 6% of farms, all cubicle beds were bare concrete (no matting or bedding) and on a further 6% of farms, there was a combination of cubicles with and without matting or bedding. On 56% of farms, all pens contained less than 1.1 cubicles per cow and on 28% of farms, a proportion of pens contained less than 1.1 cubicles per cow. Conclusions Overall, this study identified infrastructure and management practices which could be improved upon. The comparatively low lameness prevalence demonstrated, compared to fully housed systems, also highlights the benefits of a pasture-based system for animal welfare; however, there remains scope for improvement. peer-reviewed

影响爱尔兰兽医从业人员留任的因素:一项以临床实践为重点的横断面研究比蒂,斯蒂芬·h·;灰色,伊丽莎白;场,尼;利斯顿,罗里;罗兹,维多利亚;近年来，在爱尔兰，兽医从业人员的滞留已成为一个重大问题。之前没有爱尔兰同行评议的出版物解决过这个问题。2019年1月至11月，通过社交媒体和电子邮件向爱尔兰老兵提供了一份在线问卷。这项调查的目的是确定造成爱尔兰兽医留用问题的因素。 Results A total of 370 eligible responses were received. The median age of respondents was 31 and the gender balance was 250 females (68%) to 118 males (32%). The majority of respondents worked in clinical practice 322 (89%), with 138 (42.8%) in mixed practice, 115 (35.7%) in small animal practice, 49 (15.2%) solely with farm animals and 20 (6.2%) in equine practice. Fifty-four percent of respondents described themselves as likely to be leaving their current job within two years and 32.8% as being likely to leave the profession. In total, 44 variables were assessed by univariate analysis and 27 variables were significantly (P < 0.05) associated with the likelihood of a respondent leaving their current job within 2 years (LCJ2), as a proxy measure of the problem of retention. All variables significant on univariate analysis at P < 0.2 were included in a multivariable logistic regression model. Factors associated with LCJ2 included satisfaction with work-life balance (Odds Ratio (OR) 0.33); satisfaction with working hours (OR 0.2); number of years qualified (OR 0.91); position as a practice owner/partner/director (OR 0.15); and log10salary (OR 0.03). Four variables were retained in a separate multivariable linear regression model as significant (P < 0.05) predictors of log10salary. Log10salary increased with years qualified. Males had an increased salary compared to females irrespective of years qualified. Part-time employees, vets on maternity leave or postgraduate vets had a lower log10salary. Compared to veterinary employees, self-employed or locum vets had a higher log10salary. Conclusions Veterinary employers should consider salary, working hours and the facilitation of a good work-life balance in order to successfully retain veterinary employees. The significant difference in salaries currently offered to male and female vets, and the high percentage of respondents considering leaving the profession, are important findings and warrant further investigation. peer-reviewed
